Here's one that I wasn't emailed about earlier.....
There was a Saab Support Convoy in Belgrade, Serbia, on January 17th.
10 vehicles and 15-20 people were present, including the Swedish Ambassador to Serbia!

SAAB fans in Guangzhou, China were so excited and impressed by the deal done during the week by Spyker to purchase Saab from General Motors that they decided to come out and celebrate on Thursday, 28th January.
Around 30 vehicles and more people turned up to show their appreciation for Saab and for the deal done to keep the company alive.
A forum post with plenty of photos is here. Click through on that one, because there's some well cared for Saabs there with some serious mods being done.
A selection photos is included below. Griffin Up, Ghangzhou!

With thanks to Kenny for the details!
I've already provided a few photos from the Saab Support Convoy in Nagoya, Japan. There were two more convoys held in Japan this month, however, so it's time to recognise those events here.

Tokyo
There were 22 Saabs and 26 people present at the Tokyo SSC, which was held on February 7th.

Kanazawa
Around half a dozen vehicles and 11 hardy souls joined in the Kanazawa gathering, meeting in much harsher conditions than their counterparts in Tokyo, it seems.
Congratulations to all for joining in the celebrations!!

My thanks to Hiroki M for the images and information.
Another of the weekend's gatherings was right here in Australia, in the city of strange football, fashionistas and ridiculously high house prices - Sydney.
A note from my mate Hawkeye, who organised the day:

We had a great day considering we had a lot of rain the last 24 hours. A total of 15 people and 9 Saabs (there's one missing from the photo).
The photo of the Saabs in one line was taken inside the Royal National Park, which is the world's second oldest national park - after Yellowstone in the USA. It's located just on the outskirts of southern Sydney.
What a sight it was to see us weaving our way through the lush green areas through the mist up to Stanwell tops. It was a special day, but then again it's suppose to be given that it is summer in Sydney.
A magnificent cake from one of our members Sue. Too bad we had to cut it up!
A great day had by all.
The Saab Support Convoy in Bucharest was held last weekend, on the 31st.
There were a fantastic 30 vehicles present at the celebration and it's my pleasure to show the happy faces and brilliant cars below.
There were actually THREE Saab Support Convoys in Japan today!
Here's a few images from the first one, in Nagoya, where 26 Saabs and 36 people joined in the fun.
Again, it's always an amazing thing to see pictures of older Saabs in faraway places that you don't normally associate with Saab.
